Abuelo Fierro[]

Abuelo Fierro was a Mexican-born businessman, the father of Mr. Fierro and the grandfather of Alex Fierro and at least two other grandchildren. Abuelo Fierro was a kind and hardworking man. However, he despised when people took shortcuts and chose to make a profit over the quality of the good.

Abuelo Fierro was born in a suburb of Mexico City and immigration to the United States and formed a business, Fierro Ceramics, that made ceramic kit ware. He would make each piece by hand and take the time to make sure each piece was perfect.

At one point, he married and had at least one child, a son, who would inherit the family business and turning in a mechanical run kitchen ware empire, sacrificing quality for quantity. This was something he disagreed on and the two had a falling out.

Abuelo Fierro was interested in the spirituality of his ancestors sculptures, specifically the duality masks. He thought that they represented two souls in one body.

When his grandchild was born, he was the only one to accept Alex for who she was and the two developed a close bond. Ar one point, he taught Alex his pottery skills. However he died by the time Alex was fourteen.

Aigaios (or also spelled Aigaion) is the Greek god of sea storms and the eponymous ruler of the Aegean Sea.

Aigaios fought in the First Titan War on the side of Kronos while Oceanus remained neutral despite the efforts of both the former and latter.

In The Titan's Curse, Tyson says Aigaios is one of the old sea gods that are helping Oceanus protect the Princess Andromeda from Poseidon. In the second war with the gods, Oceanus and Aigaios both agreed to fight in the war, specifically to fight Poseidon. After the gods won, Aigaios and Oceanus fled back into the depths of the sea.

Akhenaton[]

Akhenaton was a pharaoh who moved Egypt's capital to a newly-built city in Amarna and attempted to ban worship of the Egyptian Gods in favor of Aten, the sun disk. He was opposed by priests of Amun-Ra, who were believed to have assassinated the pharaoh. After his death, the priests defaced Akhenaton's statues and removed his name from monuments. As punishment for his blasphemy, certain members of Akhenaton's bloodline were cursed to die at a young age by the priests of Amun-Ra. Akhenaton's son, Tutankhamen, was the first to fall victim to this curse, dying at the tender age of nineteen.[1]

Al Capone[]

Alphonse Gabriel "Al" Capone was an American gangster and businessman who attained notoriety during the Prohibition era as the co-founder and boss of the Chicago Outfit. During this time, his liaison to the African American bootleggers of the area was Josephine, a Greek demigod daughter of Hecate who'd disguised herself as a man to get the work, but eventually left when she was recruited into the Hunters of Artemis. During Apollo and Meg's stop in the Waystation, Leo Valdez mentioned that Josephine (one of its caretakers) had known Capone; Jo herself later explained how she used to work for Capone and other gangsters of the time.[2]

AI[]

Alcyone was one of the Pleiades, the daughters of the Titan Atlas and the Oceanid Pleione. She was also the mother of King Hyrieus.

Amelia Earhart[]

Amelia Earhart was a Greek demigod of Zeus and the first mortal woman to fly solo over the Atlantic Ocean. Annabeth Chase mentions her while talking to Circe about her heroes.[3] While Jason Grace, Piper McLean, and Leo Valdez are in Aeolus' fortress, Aeolus mentions that he knocked Amelia Earhart out of the sky and that the gods still pester him about it.[4]

Archimedes[]

Archimedes was Greek demigod son of Hephaestus and is credited with the creation of many modern machines as well as an accurate approximation of pi. It is the wish among many of Archimedes' modern-day siblings to find the lost works of Archimedes. While searching for Nico di Angelo with Frank Zhang and Hazel Levesque in Rome, Leo Valdez recovered the lost works of Archimedes. He uses them to destroy the eidolons, possessive spirits working for the Earth goddess, Gaea. He planned to take them to Bunker 9 at Camp Half-Blood, to study them further. With Archimedes' works, Leo hoped to save Camp Half-Blood from the Roman forces at Camp Jupiter.[5]

Aten[]

Aten was the physical embodiment of the sun disk, and the favored choice of worship by the pharaoh Akhenaton. He attempted to make Aten the sole deity of Egypt by eradicating worship of the Egyptian gods, but priests of Amun-Ra retaliated by cursing Akhenaton's bloodline.[6]

Banastre Tarleton[]

General Sir Banastre Tarleton was a Roman demigod son of Bellona, and a British soldier and politician, best remembered for his military service during the American War of Independence.[8]

Bellona[]

Rembrandt-Bellona

Bellona is the Roman goddess of war, destruction, devastation, and the mother of Reyna and Hylla Ramírez-Arellano. She is an important goddess to the Romans, as she also controls the policy of foreign warfare. While she does not have a Greek form, her Greek equivalent is Enyo.

Bellona, the Roman goddess of war, was closely associated with Mars, the Roman god of war. She is invariably his companion, although she is also known for being his wife, daughter, sister, or charioteer but mostly recognized for being his twin sister.

Her temple was built in the Campus Martius, the low-lying field by the Tiber River consecrated to Mars, located outside of the city walls. The area around her temple was considered to symbolize foreign soil, and it was there that the Senate met with ambassadors, received victorious generals, and where war was officially declared. Beside her temple was the columna bellica or "war column," representing the boundary of Rome. To declare war, a javelin was thrown over the column by one of the fetialis, a type of priest involved in diplomacy, and this act symbolized the attack on a foreign land. Bellona had several shrines and temples in Rome, though most are known only from inscriptions referencing them, as well as a temple in Ostia, the port city of Rome.

Bellona is usually shown in a plumed helmet and armor, armed with sword and spear, carrying a shield (being the war goddess); sometimes she carries a torch with a blood-red flame. She is described as loud and active, barking orders or war-cries, her weapons clanging as she runs. She is credited with inspiring violence, starting wars, and goading soldiers into battle; Virgil described her as carrying a bloodstained scourge or whip. She was believed to make wars and battles go well for those who invoked her.

In The Son of Neptune, Bellona is mentioned to be the mother of Reyna, a praetor of Camp Jupiter, and Hylla, the queen of the Amazons. She is also said to have her own temple at Camp Jupiter, as she is the most important war goddess the Romans worship.

In The Mark of Athena, while Reyna talks to Annabeth Chase, she explains the roles her mother plays in the Legion. She also explains when Romans go to war they throw a spear into a patch of soil inside her mother's temple which represents enemy soil.

In The House of Hades, Jason saw Reyna wear her ring, mentioning it has the symbol of Bellona--a sword and torch symbol.

In The Blood of Olympus, Reyna explains to Nico di Angelo that while her family has been blessed by Bellona for generations, she and her sister Hylla are actually the only demigod children of the goddess within the family. She explains that Bellona fell in love with her father and they had two children, her sister and her, but Bellona told him that their family had a great role to play and though Reyna thinks she meant it as a kindness, it drove her father to paranoia and madness.

When close to delivering the Athena Parthenos, Reyna prays to Bellona for guidance, but Orion shows up instead, telling her Bellona has abandoned her. Reyna realizes that Bellona is giving her a chance to prove herself, telling the giant that Bellona sends her potential enemies and friends and gave her the chance to make peace between the Greeks and Romans, saying that while Bellona is a war goddess, her temples were also used to make peace. Reyna believes that Bellona will lend her her strength against Orion and throws her dagger into his heart, saying it will kill him then jumps on an explosive arrow with her cloak to try to shield the statue. Bellona doesn't cause the dagger to kill Orion, but Athena gives Reyna part of aegis to shield and help her. When Reyna attacks Orion, while they don't physically appear to help, both Bellona and Athena aid her with Bellona sharing her strength with Reyna so she can make the jump to Orion and strangle him. While the goddesses aid her, neither physically interferes and lets Reyna be the one to kill Orion with her aegis-infused cloak.

Benito Mussolini[]

Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini (July 29 1883 - April 28 1945) was an Italian politician who is acknowledged as one of the vital figures in the creation of fascism. Mussolini founded and led the National Fascist Party, ruling Italy as Prime Minister from 1922 to 1943. He was also a Greek demigod, possibly a son of Hades as Grover mentions that the leaders of the Axis Powers were children of Hades.

In The Mark of Athena, while in Rome, Hazel declares that she never thought she would be able to see the city, because when she was first alive in Italy there was Mussolini in power, and the peninsula was at war with America. Leo mistaking thought he was BFFs with Adolf Hitler.

In The Blood of Olympus, when Reyna talks to him about her father, Nico remembers Pietro, a neighbor who had fought in Africa in the campaign wanted by Mussolini.

Bill[]

Bill is a well-renowned hero of Camp Fish-Blood and a merperson.

Bill was trained in combat by Bythos and in music and poetry by Aphros. He is considered by Aphros to be one of the greatest Mer-Heroes that he has ever trained.

In The Mark of Athena, Bill is mentioned by Aphros and Bythos as one of the many mer-heroes trained at Camp Fish-Blood, despite Leo Valdez not knowing any of them. However, Leo fakes a surprised expression when he hears about Bill. After Aphros and Bythos are done questioning Leo, Hazel Levesque, and Frank Zhang, they agree to send a group of mer-people off to Atlanta on a quest to rescue all the imprisoned sea creatures there, with Bythos suggesting Bill go on the quest and Aphros agreeing. It is later said that the creatures being held by Phorcys at the Georgia Aquarium were freed.

Bragi[]

Bragi is the Norse god of poetry, music and scaldic arts. The poem Sigrdrífumál, found in the Poetic Edda, depicts Bragi as having runes carved on his tongue.

Bragi is renowned for his wisdom, and above all for his ability with words. He knows most of the warmth, which after him are called bragr, and from his name is called bragr, who has an eloquence greater than the others. His wife is Idunn. He is also the adviser of Odin in Valhalla and is the one who welcomes the warriors who enter it.

In The Ship of the Dead, his mother mentions him when she is visited by Magnus Chase, Mallory Keen, and Samirah al-Abbas when they come to her cave for Kvasir's Mead. Later, when Sumarbrander is angry that Magnus left him out of the Flyting, the son of Frey promises to find Bragi and have him write an epic on the sword.

Brahma[]

Brahma is the Hindu god of creation.

After being born from Vishnu, Brahma spread light across the universe and became the essence of the universe. He created it by imagining an image in his vision, but as he was ignorant the universe was created as an image of this. So he discarded this image and it became night who had children on its own: dark demons. Seeing that the demons were multiplying, Brahma tried again. When he meditated, he created the sun and stars, which used their light to balance the darkness of night.[9]

Britney Spears[]

Britney Jean Spear is an American singer, songwriter, dancer, and actress. She was mentioned by Apollo when he lists the multiple things he's done in his immortal life, including visiting his wrath upon her at the 2007 MTV Music Video Awards.

Bruce Lee[]

Bruce Lee was a Chinese-American martial artist, actor, director, martial arts instructor and philosopher. He was mentioned by Gleeson Hedge in The Blood of Olympus.

Ceres[]

Ceres is Demeter's Roman counterpart. As Ceres, she becomes more disciplined, militaristic, and warlike. While Greeks envisioned Demeter as the one who gave mankind the gift of agriculture, Romans believed that the laws and rites of Ceres protected all the activities of the agricultural cycle. She has a demigod daughter named Leila and perhaps may have other children or descendants at Camp Jupiter near San Francisco.

Ceres was the daughter of Saturn and Ops. Sicily, Attica, Crete, and Egypt all claimed the honor of being her birthplace, each country producing the ground of its claims, though general suffrage favors the first. In her youth, being extremely beautiful, Jupiter fell in love with her, and by him she had Proserpina. For some time she took up her residence in Corcyra, so called in later times, from a daughter of Asōpus, there buried, but anciently Drepănum, from the sickle used by the goddess in reaping, which had been presented to her by Vulcan. Then she moved to Sicily, where the violence of Pluto deprived her of her daughter, Proserpina. Disconsolate at her loss, she importuned Jupiter for the return of her daughter, but obtaining little satisfaction, she lit torches at the volcano of Mount Etna, and mounting her car, drawn by winged dragons, set out in search of her beloved daughter. This transaction the Sicilians annually commemorated by running about in the night with lighted torches and loud exclamations. Ceres was also the central deity of the Plebeian or Aventine Triad, comprising her, Liber and Libera, and the three deities shared a temple which stood atop the Aventine Hill. (Roman tradition relates that the temple was erected in 496 BC and then dedicated three years later). Every year, the Cerealia festival was held in honor of her, from April 12 to 19. It must be owned that Ceres was not undeserving the highest titles bestowed upon her, being considered as the deity who had blessed men with the art of cultivating the earth, having not only taught them to plow and sow, but also to reap, harvest, and thresh out their grain; to make flour and bread, and fix limits or boundaries to ascertain their possessions. The garlands used in her sacrifices were of myrtle, or rape-weed, but flowers were prohibited, Proserpine being carried off as she gathered them. The poppy alone was sacred to her, not only because it grows among corn, but because, in her distress, Jupiter gave it her to eat, that she might sleep and forget her troubles. Cicero mentions an ancient temple dedicated to her at Catania, in Sicily, in which the offices were performed by matrons and virgins only.

Ceres was usually represented with a tall majestic stature, fair complexion, languishing eyes, and yellow or flaxen hair; her head crowned with a garland of poppies, or ears of corn; holding in her right hand a bunch of the same materials with her garland, and in her left a lighted torch. When in a car or chariot, she is drawn by lions, or winged dragons.

In The Son of Neptune, Ceres is mentioned by Hazel Levesque when talking to Karpoi, asking why they do not serve Ceres, and they stated that they hate her because they were wild and Ceres told people how to cultivate them.

In The Mark of Athena, Ceres is supposed to meet Bacchus in a wheat field in Topeka, Kansas to discuss how Gaea has been affecting the agriculture. However, she never showed up as she sensed it was a trap, which is something Bacchus quickly caught on to.

In The Hidden Oracle, after Meg McCaffrey is claimed by Demeter, Apollo questions her use of Imperial Gold swords which would suggest Roman training and a good candidate for Camp Jupiter as the daughter of Ceres rather than Camp Half-Blood as the daughter of Demeter. However, Apollo is certain that Meg is Demeter's daughter, not Ceres' because her getting claimed at Camp Half-Blood is no accident and Meg's level of power shows that she's the product of the goddess' older and more powerful Greek form.

Cleopeia[]

Cleopeia is a nymph who lives in a boulder near Narcissus' pond.

In The Mark of Athena, when Hazel Levesque and Leo Valdez run into a group of Nymphs, one comes forward and explains how Echo got cursed, another nymph interrupts and says that Cleopeia is a nymph that lives in the boulder next to her and gossips a lot. She states that if Cleopeia keeps gossiping she will end up like Echo.

Cloacina[]

Cloacina is the Roman Goddess of the Sewers. Also known as the Purification Goddess. Little is known about her. She has demigod children that attend Camp Jupiter. Apollo mentions her when trying to think of the possible godly parent of Meg McCaffrey. Apollo rementions her while going through a sewer system. Claudia mentions her when thinking of who is behind the incidents at Camp Jupiter.

Coach Wicket[]

Coach Wicket was Magnus Chase's 3rd grade PE teacher. He used the word "namby-pamby", but not as a compliment according to Magnus.

Darren Knowles[]

Darren Knowles is a Canadian archery instructor. He is the mortal father of Kayla Knowles and a former lover of Apollo. During archery practice at camp, Apollo remembers Darren and mentions him by name when the mortal god is with their daughter, Kayla. Apollo notices the strikingly similar appearances between both Kayla and Darren. Darren Knowles is the only known mortal to have a demigod child with a god of the same gender as himself.

Despoina[]

Despoina is the daughter of Poseidon and Demeter, and the twin sister of Arion. Despoina is the Goddess of Winter and Frost.

Poseidon once tried to woo Demeter while she was searching for her kidnapped daughter, Persephone. She rejected his advances and transformed herself into a mare to escape him. Transforming into a stallion, the god chased her until she was tired, producing Arion and his sister Despoina as a result.

Some of the myths report that this was the real name of the goddess, but it was forbidden to be said by her mother, Demeter and only the goddess's followers would have the right to know, which, for many, is only an epithet.

Diocletian[]

Diocletian

Diocletian was one of the last pagan Roman Emperors. He was a Roman demigod son of Jupiter, making him the last demigod to rule Rome. During his career, Diocletian became responsible for the deaths of several thousand Christians in his persecution of Christianity. Weakened by illness, Diocletian became the only Emperor to voluntarily abdicate the throne after his defeat at the hands of his nephew, Constantine, whom he had formerly exiled. He lived out his retirement in his palace on the Dalmatian coast.

After his death, Diocletian's ghost was said to haunt his the city of Split. His scepter held the power to reawaken dead Roman legionnaires. It could only be wielded by a child of Hades, and the spirits would only follow an officer of Rome. The scepter became a turning point in the second Giant War, when it was recovered by Jason Grace and Nico di Angelo.

While attending St. Agnes Academy for Colored Children and Indians, Hazel Levesque was taught that Diocletian was a huge villain, responsible for the deaths of several thousand Christians.

On the other hand, decades later, Diocletian was admired by the Roman praetors Jason Grace and Reyna Avila Ramírez-Arellano. The praetors always imagined visiting Diocletian's Palace in Croatia, but they knew that that was impossible. They saw him as one of Rome's greatest rulers.

After receiving a message from Annabeth Chase about the Athena Parthenos, Reyna resigned herself to making the trip to Greece, in hopes of preventing a war. She would head for Diocletian's Palace, believing that if the Seven were in Europe, that was the one place Jason would stop. Fortunately, Jason witnessed all of this in a dream. He made plans with the group to head for Diocletian's Palace.

After the scepter was retrieved by Jason and Greek demigod Nico di Angelo, the latter wielded it in the battle inside the House of Hades. Jason was unable to lead the spirits, as he had just recently defected to Camp Half-Blood. He stepped down as praetor and promoted centurion Frank Zhang to praetor. Frank led the legion of spirits to victory against Gaea's forces, until a combination of demigods, Titans, and Gigantes worked to seal the Doors of Death to prevent anymore enemies from escaping from the depths of Tartarus.

On the way to Long Island, Nico, Reyna,and Coach Hedge shadow travel to Pompeii. There Coach Hedge is possessed by Gaea, and earthen spirits attack Reyna and Nico. Nico tries to control the scepter, and Reyna shouts orders at the ghosts that are summoned from Diocletian's Scepter. The scepter then breaks due to the earthen ghosts were Roman ghosts and the scepter shatters. Reyna tries to control the remnants of the ghosts, but to no avail.

Diomedes[]

Diomedes is a figure in Greek mythology and one of the central characters of the Iliad. The son of Tydeus, Diomedes was considered the bravest of all the Greek warriors and served as the commander of the Argive contingent during the Trojan War.

King of Argos, Diomedes fought on the side of the Greeks during the Trojan War. He was one of Helen's suitors, and brought a total of 80 ships set to sail for Troy. Both skilled and courageous, Diomedes was one of the favorites of Athena and was able to wound two Olympians in a single day: Aphrodite when she was rescuing her son Aeneas, and Ares with some assistance by Athena. Alongside Ajax the Greater, he was considered to be one of the greatest of the Achaean warriors in terms of battle prowess, second only to Achilles.

The youngest of the Greek kings, Diomedes was instructed to scout the Trojan camp, and took Odysseus with him.

Also, with the aid of Athena, he performed wondrous acts. He fought as a mighty warrior, nearly on par with Achilles himself, and even fought and injured several gods, like Aphrodite and Ares. Athena had given to him the ability to see the gods, and he thus engaged in combat with several of them. Additionally, he was one of many warriors to sneak into Troy in the Trojan Horse.

After the end of the war, Diomedes returned to Argos safely, though he was met with trouble when he arrived; this was because of the goddess Aphrodite, who, still angered over Diomedes wounding her during the Trojan War, had caused his wife, Aigialeia, to commit adultery against him with a man named Kometes. The two tried to kill Diomedes upon his return, but the hero escaped with help from Athena and fled to Italy; there he found refuge in the court of Daunus, king of Apulia (a city in southeastern Italy), who gave Diomedes his daughter, Euippe, for a wife. Diomedes lived happily with Euippe and with her fathered two sons, Diomedes and Amphinomus.

Since Daunus had no male children, the throne then passed onto Diomedes, his son-in-law, upon his death; the hero ruled just and wisely for many years until his death, afterwhich he was buried with divine honors on an island just off the Apulian coast — it was later named "Diomedeia" in honor of him. Diomedes was said to have founded at least ten cities in Italy during his reign, including Beneventum, Canusium, Sipontum, Venafrum, Venusia (Aphrodisia) and Argyripa.

Diomedes of Thrace[]

Diomedes was the son of Ares and Cyrene, and a king of Thrace, a region in northeastern Greece. Diomedes ruled over the barbaric and warlike tribe of the Bistones, and possessed a team of flesh-eating horses.

Hercules was commanded to fetch Diomedes' Flesh-Eating Horses by King Eurystheus as the eighth of his Twelve Labors. He captured the animals and left them in the care of his young squire Abderos, while he went to deal with Diomedes. During his absence, the boy was devoured. Hercules then fed Diomedes to the beasts, stilling their unnatural appetite with a meal of their master's flesh.

Diomedes was mentioned by Eurytion as one of the clients who the Triple G Ranch raised animals for.

Douglas[]

Douglas is a demigod son of Demeter. In The Tower of Nero, Meg mentions him saying Steve made a potato explode in his pants.

Dr. Arkwright[]

Dr. Arkwright is a therapist in New York City.

When Rachel Dare was six years old, her hamster died, so her father called Dr. Arkwright to help her get over the loss. When Rachel was having bad dreams and headaches, Mr. Dare suggests that they call him again, but Rachel says she doesn't need a therapist, as a therapist would think she was mad, due to her ability to see through the Mist.

Dr. Hernandez[]

Dr. Hernandez is a Spanish teacher at Borough of Manhattan Community College. Percy Jackson has dual-credit Spanish class with them on Saturdays during his senior year at Alternative High School in order to help make up for the credits that he had lost during Percy's junior year.

Eben Norton Horsford[]

Eben Norton Horsford was an American scientist best known for his work concerning the reformulation of baking powder. Besides this, Horsford showed great interest in Viking settlements in America and commissioned the statue of Leif Erikson that stands on Commonwealth Avenue in Boston, Massachusetts.[10]

Enyo[]

Enyo is the greek goddess of war, destruction, devastation, carnage, and bloodlust. She is the twin sister of Ares, her constant companion in battle. Her Roman equivalent is Bellona. Enyo is a daughter of Zeus and Hera. Her twin brother was Ares. Enyo became responsible for orchestrating the destruction of cities. She would often accompany Ares in battle. During the fall of Troy, Enyo inflicted bloodshed and terror in the war with Eris and her nephews, Phobos and DeimosAchilles later depicted the aforementioned gods in his shield. Enyo was involved in the war of her half-brother Dionysus and his followers against the Amazons, a battle which Dionysus easily won in India. Unlike most gods, who were very frightened and left, Enyo was so delighted by the war that she refused to choose sides in the battle between Zeus and Typhon. In The Blood of Olympus, Enyo is mentioned by Reyna Ramírez-Arellano, who compares her to her mother Bellona. At Thebes and Orchomenos, the festival Homolôïa was celebrated in honor of Zeus, Demeter, Athena and Enyo. The festival was said to have received the name from Homoloïs, a priestess of Enyo. Her symbol is the swan, but the reason is unknown. Enyo isn't a major Olympian because the Olympians didn't need another war god: Athena and Ares are worshiped more as a deities of war.

Estelle Jackson[]

Estelle Jackson was the wife of Jim Jackson, the mother of Sally Jackson, and the mortal grandmother of Percy Jackson[11] and Estelle Blofis.

Estelle Jackson and her husband, Jim Jackson, both died on a plane flight when it crashed down in a field 150 miles south of Lake Ontario at 3 A.M, leaving their young daughter, Sally, an orphan. Neither of them survived the crash, and the cause of the crash was left unknown. After their deaths, Sally was taken in by Jim's brother, Rich Jackson.

In The Lightning Thief, Percy briefly mentions Estelle and Jim when talking about his mother's backstory.

In The Ship of the Dead, Percy mentions Estelle when stating that his half-sister is named after their shared grandmother.

In The Chalice of the Gods, Percy wonders what it would of been like if she and her husband did not die in that plane crash.

In Wrath of the Triple Goddess, it's revealed that Sally's middle name is Estelle after her mother.

According to her obituary, Estelle was a kind woman who often helped out their neighbors.

Eubouleus[]

Eubouleus is the Greek god of secret swine and clodding, son of Demeter and Karmanor.

According to Cretan tradition, Eubouleus was one of two children born to Demeter and Karmanor. Eubouleus had a demigod daughter, Karme, who later lay with Zeus and gave birth to a daughter, Britomartis.

Fafnir[]

Fafnir was a son of the dwarf king, Hreidmar.

One day, Aesir gods Odin, Loki and Hœnir (the god who helped Odin create humanity) were traveling when they came across an otter. Unknowingly to them, this otter was actually Ótr, the son of dwarf king Hreidmar, who had the ability to transform. Loki threw a stone at the otter killing Órt, and the three Aesir gods skinned the king's son. When they offered him to the king, he took them captive and forced Loki to gather ransom and fill the otter's skin with yellow gold and cover its outside with Red Gold. Loki did so by obtaining a net from Ran and capturing Andvari as a pike to gather his gold and ring named Andvaranaut despite being warned that he cursed it to bring death.

Loki didn't give the ring to Hreidmar to pay off the debt until a single whisker was left on the otter's fur. After the gods left, Ótr's brother, Fáfnir, killed his father to get all the gold for himself. He became very ill-natured and greedy, so he went out into the wilderness to keep his fortune, eventually turning into a dragon, which is a symbol of greed, to guard his treasure. Fáfnir also breathed poison into the land around him so no one would go near him and his treasure, wreaking terror in the hearts of the people.

Norse hero, Sigurd, was sent by his foster father Regin, Fafnir's brother, to kill the dragon so he could have the treasure. He dug a pit in which he could lie in wait under the trail Fafnir used to get to a stream and there plunge his sword into Fafnir's heart as he crawls over the pit to the water. Odin appeared advising him to dig another pit for the dragon's blood so he wouldn't drown. Due to an earthquake, Sigurd stabbed Fafnir's shoulder instead but still managed to kill the dragon. Fafnir asks Sigurd for his name and parentage while dying, then realizes that Regin plotted this and will probably kill Sigurd. He warns Sigurd that all who possess the gold will be fated to die, but Sigurd replies that all men must one day die anyway, and it is the dream of many men to be wealthy until that dying day, so he will take the gold without fear. Sigurd then burned Fafnir's heart to eat, when he sucked on his finger to get rid of a burn he tasted some blood and gained the ability to understand birds. Some birds nearby told Sigurd that Regin will kill him out of greed, so Sigurd beheaded him. Then he ate some of Fafnir's heart and saved the rest to soon give to his future wife.

Hearthstone tells Magnus that Fafnir was a dwarf who went mad after stealing Andvari's ring. After the ring was passed onto Sigurd, the curse of Andavari's ring was known as The Curse of Fafnir. Hearth's father, Alderman, was given the ring and began suffering the entire fate of Fafnir. The story of Fafnir finishes in this book. Alderman turns into a ring dragon, and Magnus, Hearthstone, and Blitzen must kill him. Magnus (who "plays" the role of Sigurd) crawls into a Nisser hole directly underneath Alderman's cave. Heathstone uses Andiron's ghost to lure his father closer to Magnus so he can kill him. Alderman attacks his son and gets confronted by Blitzen, who gets him to back up far enough for Magnus to stab him. Later, Hearthstone is roasting the heart to eat it, and asks Magnus to turn the spit for him. Magnus gets overexcited and the heart falls in the fire, after he tried to catch it. He stuck his fingers in his mouth and gained the ability to understand forest animals just like Sigurd.

In some versions of the myth, Andvaranaut was not the cause of Fafnir turning into a dragon. He merely had the ability to transform like Ótr. In Wagner's opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen ("The Ring of the Nibelung"), Fafner and Fasolt were two brother-giants who, once they had built the citadel of Valhalla, demanded Freia (Freya) as a price for their toils. When Wotan (Odin) refused, Loge (Loki) devised a way to steal the Rhine-gold from Alberich (a dwarf who had previously stolen it from the Rhine-maidens), including a powerful ring, which would be given to the giants in the stead of Freia. When they were given the gold, Fafner, overcome by lust, slew his brother and took the treasure. He guarded then for many years in the shape of a dragon, until he was slain by Siegfried (Sigurd), son of Siegmund, son of Wotan, with the sword Nothung (also called Gram or Balmung). Fafnir is the inspiration for other dragons who guard gold just like Alderman. Examples include Smaug from The Hobbit and Eustace Scrubb in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

Fortuna[]

Fortuna is the Roman goddess of Luck and Fortune. While the Greeks envisioned Tyche as beneficiary but a random being, for Romans, Fortuna was a major cult goddess and was honored her with a celebration known as the Feast of Fortuna which takes place on June 24th and is a tradition still followed by the campers of Camp Jupiter.

She was a very popular goddess, and was worshiped under many epithets depending on the type of luck one wished to invoke or the circumstances in play. She had many temples in Rome itself, as well as having important cult-centers in Antium (the modern Anzio), a city on the west coast of Italy about 30 miles south of Rome, and Praeneste (modern Palestrina), about 20 miles south-east of Rome, both of which were cities of Latium, the land of the Latini tribes. Her many temples in Rome, and the various aspects of her worship are a reflection of the manners in which she was honored: from personal goddess, overseeing the fate of the individual mother, young man, or soldier, to a goddess of the state, ensuring the fortune of the population, the luck of the emperor, or the glorious fate of the entire Roman Empire. The Emperor Trajan dedicated a temple to Fortuna, at which offerings were made to the goddess on the 1st day of January, at the start of the New Year, probably to ensure good luck and success for the coming year. This temple was dedicated to Fortuna in all of her aspects.

Fortuna was usually depicted holding in one hand a cornucopia, or a horn of plenty, from which all good things flowed in abundance, representing her ability to bestow prosperity; in the other she generally has a ship's rudder, to indicate that She is the one who controls how lives and fates are steered. She could also be shown enthroned, with the same attributes of rudder and cornucopia, but with a small wheel built into the chair, representing the cycles of fate and the ups and downs of fortune. Sometimes she is blind, as an acknowledgment that good luck does not always come to those who seem to most deserve it; at other times she is described as having wings.

In The Son of Neptune, it is mentioned that Fortuna is highly respected by Romans and they have a feast in her name. The Feast of Fortuna is held on June 24th. This day of the year will show whether Camp Jupiter will have good or really bad luck for the rest of the year. When it was first mentioned, Percy frowned and asked, "You have a feast for tuna?" Then Hazel corrected him and said, "Fortuna. She's the goddess of luck. Whatever happens on her feast day can affect the entire rest of the year. She can grant the camp good luck… or really bad luck."

Gandhari was born to Sudarma and King Subala of Gandhara, she had an older brother named Shakhuni. Bhishma, her second half-cousin-in-law, arranged Gandhari to marry the sightless king, Dhritrashtra. She chose to wear a blindfold in order to share his blindness. Shakhuni was enraged at this marriage, Bhishma had already humiliated his sister in a where he killed Shakhuni's brothers. This is why Shakhuni vowed destroy the Kuru dynasty. Because of her devotion to a visiting sage named Vyasa, as well as being a devoted husband, Vyasa gave a boon that allowed her to have one hundred children. However after two years, Gandhari only gave birth to a hard piece of lifeless flesh, while Kunti gave birth Yudhishthira from Dharma Raja. Vyasa advised her to fill one hundred jars with ghee ("GHEE"), clarified butter often used in Hindu rituals.[15] Vyasa would cut the flesh and put them in each jar and they would develop into the children she desired. Two years later, the first jar opened with her eldest son, he was named Suyodhana and later Duryodhana for his bad deeds. Gandhari then opened the other jars and out came ninety-nine sons, plus one daughter she asked for name named Dushala.[16] Gandhari only once let her blindfold drop: to see Duryodhana. Had he been naked at the time, her gaze would’ve made him invincible. But her eldest son was modest and left his underwear on, thereby remaining vulnerable.[17]

In Aru Shah and the End of Time, after Aru Shah met Boo, she remembered when her mother told her stories of Gandhari.

When Shiva returns, he doesn't know who Ganesh is. But Ganesh refused to let his father into his own home, this responded in Shiva lopping of Ganesh's head. To avoid a big fight with Parvati, Shiva sticks an elephant's head on Ganesh.[18]

He was briefly mentioned by Mimir. There's texts in the Eddas and other old Norse manuscripts suggesting that Hoenir and Vil are the same god.

The principal history where Hoenir appear (and even there he's just a support character) is from the curse of the Andvarinaut ring, when he and Odin were chained by the dwarf king Hreidmir after the Trikster God killed his son Ótr. The two were free after Loki offered to Hreidmir Andvari's gold and the Andvarinaut. Honir was sended to Vanaheim with Mimir in the peace treaty between the two tribes. He acted as a advisor, but only talked in the presence of Mimir. This maked the Vanir gods to suspect that they were deceived, and sended Mimir's head back to Odin vengeance.

Jupiter[]

Statue of Jupiter

Statue

Jupiter (sometimes Jove) is the Roman counterpart of Zeus. As Jupiter, he becomes more strict, disciplined, militaristic, responsible, calm and warlike. The Greeks envisioned Zeus as a powerful and proud being, while the Romans envisioned Jupiter as a more formal and stoic version of his Greek counterpart, as well as more responsible.

Jupiter is the chief god of the Roman pantheon and king of the gods, equivalent to and cognate with the Greek Zeus. He is a god of light and the sky, regarded as the protector of the state and its laws. The Romans worshipped him especially as Iuppiter Optimus Maximus ("Jupiter the Best and the Greatest"). This name refers not only to his rule over the universe, but also to his function as the deity who distributes laws, controls the realm, and makes his will known through various oracles. He is also called Jove, most notably by English poets such as Alexander Pope and George Chapman, a name which derives from the majority of the grammatical forms of the word Iuppiter, all of which take the form Iov- (e.g. Iovis, Iove, Iovī).

He had a temple on Rome's Capitoline Hill, sharing it with his wife Juno and daughter Minerva, but he was the most prominent of this Capitoline triad. His temple was not only the most important sanctuary in Rome, but was also the center of Roman political life; there official offerings were made, treaties were signed and wars were declared, and the triumphant generals of the Roman army came here to give their thanks.

The distinguishing character of his person is majesty, and every thing about him carries dignity and authority with it; his look is meant to strike, sometimes with terror, and sometimes with gratitude, but always with respect. The Capitoline Jupiter, or Iuppiter Optimus Maximus, was the great guardian of the Romans, and was represented, in his chief temple, on the Capitoline Hill, as sitting on a curule chair, with a bolt of lightning in his right hand, and a scepter in his left.

The poets describe him as standing amidst his rapid horses, or his horses that make the thunder; for as the ancients had a strange idea of the brazen vault of heaven, they seem to have attributed the noise in a thunder storm to the rattling of Jupiter's chariot and horses on that great arch of brass all over their heads, as they supposed that he himself flung the flames out of his hand, which dart at the same time out of the clouds, beneath this arch.

Under the reign of Jupiter arose the Silver Age, which succeeded the Golden Age of Saturn and preceded the Bronze Age. The four Ages of Man as described by Ovid are the Golden Age, Silver Age, Bronze Age, and the Iron Age, in which man grows increasingly deceitful and dishonorable.

In The Lost Hero, when Jason Grace is found by Annabeth Chase at the Grand Canyon, he calls the gods by their Roman names instead of the Greek ones. Later that day, Chiron, who knows a small bit about his past, says that Jason was already claimed. To prove this, Jason calls down a bolt of lightning to prove he is a son of Zeus, but in actuality, he is a son of Jupiter. Later when meeting with Thalia Grace, she talks about how Zeus returned to their mother Beryl once after she was born. She described him as being different from how she remembered him, being more forbearing, mature, and fatherly. This is because Beryl had gained not the attention of Zeus, but Jupiter. During the battle with Enceladus on Mount Diablo, Jason prays to his father for help as a giant can only be killed by a god and a demigod working together. Despite Zeus' ban on getting involved in mortal affairs, Jupiter intervenes directly by sending a lightning bolt down to help his son out. The lightning bolt blasts through Jason and the Gigantes and cracks open the mountain itself with its sheer power. This proves to be enough of an intervention by Jupiter to kill Enceladus despite Jupiter not facing the giant in person.

In The Son of Neptune, the Roman demigods have the highest respect for Jupiter. The camp itself is named after him, as well as the largest temple on Temple Hill, the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus and has a large statue of Jupiter holding a lightning bolt inside. When Percy Jackson saw it, he remarked on how his bolt didn't look like that. Later, after the Roman War Games, Mars appeared and told the Romans that while Jupiter doesn't like the gods speaking directly to mortals, he gave Mars permission to speak for only a few minutes. Iris also mentioned Jupiter to Frank Zhang, telling him that he was the one that sent the harpies to keep food and drink away from Phineas as punishment for revealing the intentions of the gods to mortals. Jupiter is later mentioned by Juno during her conversation with Percy, admitting to him that she was working behind Jupiter's back in order to bring the two sets of demigods together. She also admits that Jupiter has a long history of his pride leading him to be wrong on important issues only to be forced to change his stance on a later date.

In The Blood of Olympus, Juno explains she has to keep moving and cannot do much to aid the demigods because Jupiter blames her for the war and seeks to punish her. During the final battle against the giants, Jason fully accepts his status as a son of Jupiter. When the gods arrive, Jason initially believes that his father has come as Jupiter before realizing that it's actually Zeus instead.

In The Throne of Fire, Upon meeting Sadie Kane and Walt Stone, Mad Claude believes them to be Roman priests come to free the trapped souls in the catacombs. After realizing that they don't know the problem, Mad Claude swears "oh, Jupiter" before explaining.

In The Burning Maze, Jupiter is mentioned by Apollo when he meets his half-brother Jason and by Caligula when he captures them.

In The Tyrant's Tomb, Apollo mentions him when comparing his Greek and Roman aspects, preferring Zeus over him. When the time comes to summon a god for help, Apollo briefly considers summoning Jupiter, knowing that he could smite the emperors' armies, heal Apollo of his zombie infection and set everything right at Camp Jupiter. Apollo hopes that Jupiter might possibly even notice all of the heroic things that Apollo has done, decide he'd suffered enough and release Apollo from the punishment of his mortal form, but knows that Jupiter, who Apollo believes is waiting for him to summon, might just laugh and refuse to come. To Apollo's surprise, he realizes that he doesn't want his godhood back that badly or even to live that badly and he decides not to go crawling to his father for help. Instead, Apollo chooses to summon Diana, knowing that his sister is more likely to come. After the battle, Diana states that a summons from the Sibylline Books performed on Temple Hill was something that even Jupiter couldn't argue against responding to despite his decree that no god will come to Apollo's aid.

Karmanor[]

Karmanor is a minor god of the harvest. He is the husband of Demeter and father of Eubouleus and Chrysothemis.

Karmanor was a minor harvest deity, living in the city of Tarrha on the island of Crete. According to Cretan tradition, he was the husband of Demeter, goddess of agriculture, with whom he had two children - Eubouleus, the patron god of ploughing, and Chrysothemis.

He was said to have received and purified the god Apollo after he had slain the she-dragon Python, and it was in his house that Apollo lay with the nymph Akakallis.

Koronis[]

Koronis is a lover of Apollo and the mother of Asclepius.

Koronis was the daughter of King Phlegyas of Lapinths and Cleophema, the daughter of Malos and Erato, the Muse. One day, Apollo saw Koronis and fell in love with her, they slept together and Koronis got pregnant. Apollo had left a raven, which was white at the time like the rest of those birds, to guard her before leaving. Then Koronis, against her father's warnings, fell in love with a man named Ischys. When the raven found out, it went straight to Apollo. He got so angry he scorched the birds' feathers as punishment for being a tattletale and failing to peck Ischys' eyes out, that's why ravens are black nasty-tempered flesh-eaters today. Then he sent Artemis to kill both Ischys and Koronis because he couldn't do it himself. However, Apollo was able to save Koronis' baby, he became Asclepius, the god of medicine.

In The Tyrant's Tomb, while Apollo, who was turned into a human, Meg McCaffrey, and Reyna Ramírez-Arellano were climbing Sutro Tower, they were attacked by ravens sent by Tarquin. Apollo tells the girls how he found out she was cheating on him and that he killed her and cursed the ravens, who were white, black as punishment for telling him of the affair. The girls got furious at Apollo for that, Reyna pointed out that it would make the color black bad and white good, Meg even suggested that they let the ravens eat Apollo, so they'd leave the two alone.

Krishna[]

AruShah Not part of Riordanverse

The following article/section is from the Pandava Quintet continuity under Rick Riordan Presents and not the Riordanverse canon.

Krishna is the Hindu god of Compassion, Tenderness and Love. He is the eight incarnation of Vishnu.

In Aru Shah and the End of Time, Aru Shah mentions that Krishna playing his flutes is one of her favorite statues in the museum, the other being Indra and Buddha. Later, she searches for the incarnations of the five Pandavas of the epic Mahabharata, whose central character was Krishna.

Krishna was also worshiped by the Greeks in different forms. His images are found on Indo-Greek coinage. The Greek ethnographer Megasthenes mentioned that the Sourasenoi tribe of India worshiped Herakles. Some scholars consider Herakles to be the Greek phonetic equivalent of Hari-Krishna.[26]

Krishna's name is derived from a Sanskrit word meaning "black". Krishna is traditionally portrayed as having a dark complexion. The Bhagavad Gita, one of the important scriptures of Hinduism (or Sanatana Dharma), is believed to have been first spoken by Krishna.

Lakshmi[]

AruShah Not part of Riordanverse

The following article/section is from the Pandava Quintet continuity under Rick Riordan Presents and not the Riordanverse canon.

Lakshmi is the Hindu goddess of wealth and good fortune, and the consort (wife) of Vishnu, one of the three major Hindu deities.

Latricia Lake[]

Latricia Lake is a music professor at Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio and former lover of Apollo and mother of Austin Lake.

During music lessons, Apollo mentions her, remarking that her son Austin’s musical abilities remind him of his mother’s.

Letus[]

Letus (also known as Mors) is the Roman counterpart of Thanatos. As Letus, he becomes more disciplined, militaristic, and warlike. In ancient Roman myth and literature, Mors is the personification of death.

In one story, Hercules fought Mors in order to save his friend's wife. In other stories, Mors is shown as a servant to Pluto, ending the life of a person after the thread of their life has been cut by the Parcae and of Mercury, messenger to the gods, escorting the dead person's soul or shade, down to the Underworld's gate.

In The Son of Neptune, while Letus is the Roman form of Thanatos, Hazel explains that the Roman Legion refer to him by the Greek name Thanatos. This is because Letus is a god of death, so they prefer him to stay Greek.

Lexi[]

Lexi was a friend of Zane Carver's.

In My Two-Headed Guidance Counselor it was mentioned that she had left her cellphone at Zane's house and when he felt a tremor Zane had used her cellphone to call 9-1-1.

Libertas[]

Libertas is the Roman goddess and personification of freedom, and a very important symbol in the USA. Her Greek counterpart is Eleutheria. Libertas was quite popular during the Roman Republic and Empire, being represented in coins specially after some unpopular or tyrannical figure died (like Julius Caesar or Nero). When the Olympus was placed in New York City (following Western Civilization) and the gods moved with it, Libertas went to this new country and became their new symbol of freedom, taking the place of the previous personification of this concept, Columbia. At some point after 1885 (year when the Statue of Liberty arrived to New York) Libertas decided to inhabit this monument, turning it into a literal, living symbol of freedom. In My Demon Satyr Tea Party, she is mentioned by the goddess Columbia. In exchange for her help, Columbia, still resentful with Libertas, asks Zane to go to the Statue of Liberty next time he's in New York and yell "Columbia rules!", because she knows the Roman goddess hates that which he reluctantly agrees to. In Rome, she was represented as a woman holding a rod and a pileus (a cap that freed slaves used to wear). When she inhabits her statue, she looks like a 151 feet tall copper woman (now in a turquoise color because of the rust). In her left hand, she holds a tablet which has the date of American independence on it, and in her right hand she holds a torch aloft. On her head, she wears a crown with seven spikes - each representing a continent. Libertas presumably possesses the standard powers of a goddess. Columbia, however, claims that Libertas, unlike her, can't fly. As a goddess, Libertas can be in several places at the same time, but according to Sam Greenwood, she spends most of her time "being" her own statue (that would explain her inability to fly).

Lola[]

Lola was a sea otter.

In My Two-Headed Guidance Counselor it was mentioned that Lola was so scared of Zane Carver that she jumped out of the sea otter enclosure and into the closest tank which happened to be the shark tank, it was also mentioned that after Zane and the other students had left she was safely returned to the sea otter enclosure.

Lynkos[]

Lynkos (also known as Lyncus) was once a mortal King of Scythia who got into a fight with Triptolemus and was punished for it by Demeter. Once, Triptolemus came to Scythia to spread the word of farming, he went to the king, Lynkos and he refused to let him spread the word in his kingdom. Triptolemus got angry and there was a fight resulting in the death of the right python of Triptolemus's chariot. Demeter severely punished him for this and turned him into a Lynx. When Frank, Nico and Hazel reach Venice, they encounter Triptolemus where it is mentioned that Lynkos slayed Triptolemus's right python of his chariot and so, he isn't able to spread the word of farming anymore and instead has to resort to online schooling.

Lysas[]

Lysas was the satyr who tried to spread the word about Pan's death. Lysas was the chosen one of Pan, being tasked by the god himself to spread the word that, "The great god Pan has died." Even though he refused to believe this, he spread the word to the world in Ephesos. Lysas is portrayed by Pan to be like Grover, who is brave, good, and a true satyr.

In The Lightning Thief, Grover Underwood mentions that a sailor off the coast of Ephesos heard a mysterious cry saying that Pan has died.

In The Battle of the Labyrinth, Lysas is mentioned when the members of the Quest for Daedalus find Pan in his cave in the Labyrinth. They are told about how the god had tried to tell the world about his death, and wanted to fade away, but the satyrs refused to believe this. He then tells Grover to do the same as Lysas.

Magni[]

Magni is the Norse god of strength. He is the son of Thor and the giantess Járnsaxa, and the brother of Móði.

Magni was the son of Thor, god of thunder, and the giantess Járnsaxa, one of the god's lovers. As a child, Magni was exceptionally strong for his age. One such display of his strength was during his father's battle with the giant Hrungnir. Thor hit Hrungnir in the head with his hammer, Mjölnir, shattering Hrungnir's skull. The giant then fell dead, as his leg landed on Thor's neck, pinning the god to the ground. The other members of the Æsir tried to lift the leg off of Thor, but were unsuccessful. Magni, who was only three days old at the time, then came to his father and lifted Hrungnir's leg off of Thor all by himself. In gratitude, Thor gifted his son the horse Gullfaxi, which Hrungnir previously owned. Odin, however, was upset that Thor gave the horse to "the son of a giantess" and not to Odin, Thor's father.

In The Sword of Summer, when Samirah, Magnus and Hearth met Thor in wilderness of Jotunheim, Magnus panics when he sees the name Magni tattooed on Thor's hand as it was close to his own name. Later, Magnus asks Thor about the name and Thor tells those are his favorite sons. Samirah also tell that Magni and Modi are destined to survive Ragnarök.

Marilyn[]

Marilyn was a tour guide at an aquarium.

In My Two-Headed Guidance Counselor she was mentioned when Zane Carver was remembering an event that happened with a sea otter named Lola, she assured the students on the field trip that Lola was safe as the sharks whose tank Lola had jumped into to get away from Zane were fed not long before.

Marilyn (Demigod)[]

Marilyn is a Roman demigod daughter of Euterpe.

In The Tyrant's Tomb, Marilyn repaired Apollo's combat ukulele for him, having been damaged in the Battle of Tarquin's Tomb.

Mefitis[]

Mefitis is the Roman goddess of trash and Noxious Vapors. She is also the mother of Mimi. Mefitis was worshiped by the Samnites, an ancient Italic people who lived in Samnium in south-central Italy before the rise of Rome. Her main shrine was in the volcano Ampsanctus in Samnium, though there are other temples dedicated to her in Cremona and the Esquiline Hill in Rome. It is theorized that Mefitis was originally a goddess of underground sources, such as natural springs, many of these springs were sulfurous which led to her association with noxious gases. She has also been worshiped at Pompeii, so she is almost always identified with volcanoes.

Metis[]

Metis was the Titan goddess of Wisdom and Good Counsel, as well as an Oceanid. She was born from Oceanus and Tethys. According to Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, Metis is smart about advising others. She helped the gods during the First Titan War.

Metis became the first wife of her cousin Zeus. She told him about a prophecy that she would give birth to a daughter and then a son who would be more powerful than him. This posed as a problem for Zeus as Metis was already pregnant with their first child. To prevent the prophecy from taking place, Zeus tricked Metis into taking the form of a fly and swallowed her.

However, Metis took the form of intelligence and gave birth to her daughter Athena, who grew inside her father's head. She taught her daughter how to transform into intelligence. Metis finally faded, becoming a noisy voice in Zeus' head. Her daughter officially became one of the Olympians as the Goddess of Wisdom and Warfare.

In myth, Metis was the one who gave Zeus the emetic potion to cause Kronos to vomit out Zeus' siblings.

Mikhail[]

Mikhail was an old Russian magician and a friend of Leonid.

In The Serpent's Shadow, following the defeat of the Rebel Magicians at Brooklyn House, Sarah Jacob and her followers were offered refuge in the Eighteenth Nome, who's residents pinned the blame of Apophis's rise on the Kane family and subsequently aligned themselves against Amos Kane's claim to the mantle of Chief Lector. Mikhail, however, was arrested for 'treason' by Sarah Jacobi for suggesting that all Kanes might not be bad. Leonid mentioned that he heard Mikhail screaming for three nights in the dungeon before he died of Kwai's lightning torture methods. 

It is implied that Leonid had a close relationship with Mikhail before he died. In The Serpent's Shadow, Mikhail was arrested for treason by Sarah Jacobi for suggesting the Kanes might not be bad. Leonid mentioned that he heard Mikhail's scream for three nights in the dungeon before he died due to Kwai's torture.

Mithras[]

Mithras was a Persian god who was adopted by the Romans with origins of the Mithraic religion being in Rome.

Mithras was the god of Roman warriors, the legion, and empire. He had a secret cult of warriors and was popular in the legions. He was one of the gods who replaced Athena as a war deity. He was originally a Persian god before being adopted by the Romans. He was born from the rock, where he emerged fully grown and holding his dagger and torch. He was famous for slaying a sacred bull. Mithras' symbols are the torch and dagger, which one can be initiated into the cult with.

There are seven rites of passage to gain entrance into the cult of Mithras. There are also seven levels of membership, the top level being the pater, who Annabeth Chase meets. If a person is an unbeliever, then they must die by fire or dagger.

In The Mark of Athena, Aphrodite mentions Mithras as one of the deities that replaced Athena. Later, Annabeth Chase encounters a dozen ghosts, similar to the Lares of Camp Jupiter, in their sacred cavern of Mithras, when she follows the Mark of Athena, an owl. The ghost realizes Annabeth's disbelief and asks her to choose her path of death, or else Mithras will choose it for her.

In The Tower of Nero, Mithras was again referred to when Apollo remembered the type of monster protecting Nero's Fasces and remembered it to be the leontocephaline. Mithras was stated by Apollo to have been incredibly secretive that during his time in Olympus as a Roman God, He, Jupiter and the other Olympians barely knew anything about him. Luguselwa mentions that while a lot of Roman officers worshipped Mithras back in the day, she had never taken to the Persian gods. Lu calls Mithras' cult an elite members-only society of which the emperor was an automatic member, explaining how Nero had found the leontocephaline in the first place.

Mithras was stated to have had a Scepter of Immortality that the leontocephaline was originally guarding and that the monster itself was created by him for that purpose. The Scepter itself was stated to have gone missing eons ago.

Modi[]

Molly Leary[]

Molly Leary is a student at Alternative High School and a classmate of Percy Jackson's.

In Wrath of the Triple Goddess, when Chiron shows up at the school as a substitute history teacher, Percy thinks that he's scouting out a possible new demigod. Percy suspects Molly of possibly being a daughter of Hephaestus because she is always constructing Lego murder-bots in the engineering lab and sending them into the halls to terrorize people. However, Chiron explains that as far as he can tell, Percy is the only demigod at AHS and Chiron simply likes to teach from time to time to keep his skills fresh.

Mother William[]

Mother William was non-binary and two-spirited person from the Lenape tribe, mentioned by Thomas Jefferson Jr. in The Hammer of Thor. They fought with T.J. in the Civil War, acting as a scout. T.J. mentions they saved everyone from an ambush while heading through Georgia.

In The Mark of Athena, while visiting a small island in the great Salt Lake, searching for Celestial Bronze and lime, Hazel and Leo Valdez run into the goddess Nemesis. Hazel sees her as her old teacher, Mrs. Leer. She remembers how Mrs. Leer would punish her for everything, including things she didn't do and tape her hands to the desk for misbehaving. When Nemesis asks her if she ever wished for terrible things to happen to her teacher, Hazel replies that while she did talk about it, she wouldn't want them to actually happen, something Nemesis scoffs at.

Mrs. Mengler[]

In The Hammer of Thor, while thinking of an analogy to Alex Fierro's constricted feeling about not being able to change gender, he thought of an incident in second grade when he was forced by his teacher, Mrs. Mengler (whom he called as Mrs. Mangler), to write using his right hand by taping his dominant left hand to the table.

As part of Loki's punishment for killing Balder, the gods turned Narvi's brother Vali into a wolf, and watched as he disemboweled his brother. The gods then shot and gutted Vali, and used their entrails to bind Loki.

In The Sword of Summer, Loki appears in Magnus' dream and tells him about Vali and Narvi after Magnus Chase, Hearthstone and Samirah al-Abbas flee from the dwarves in Nidavellir.

Nefertem[]

Nefertem was the Egyptian god of healing, the lotus, beauty, perfumes and aromatherapy, as well as being a minor sun god. He is the son of Ptah and Sekhmet (or Bast) and grandson of Ra. He was shown as a beautiful young man with lotus flowers on his head (like a crown).

Because of the water-lily flower opens at sunrise, Nefertem was associated with the rising sun. Nefertem was believed to help Ra by passing him the sun. In one myth, he was shown healing Ra's wounds as he aged with a water-lily. The lotus later became a sacred symbol of Egypt. He was sometimes shown as a lion-headed god because of his mother Sekhmet. That gave him the role of a war god. He later received the role of protector/guardian of Upper and Lower Egypt. He was later known as the "Restrainer of the Two Lands." His symbol is the lotus flower. It was said he the Ancient Egyptians sometimes carried small statuettes of him for good luck. Ancient Egyptians used the lotus' qualities for medical purposes as well for the perfumes and adornment, which may have been the reason for Nefertem being associated with healing. His name can be translated as "beautiful Atum" or "beautiful one who closes". Memphis was the main city where he was worshiped.

He does not appear during any of the Kane Chronicles books, but he has been mentioned in The Serpent's Shadow. A healing balm, known as Nefertem's Balm was used by Zia Rashid to heal Carter Kane after he was attacked by Bloodstained Blade. It is named after Nefertem due to his post as the god of healing.

Neptune[]

Neptune

Neptune is the Roman form of Poseidon. As Neptune, he becomes more disciplined, militaristic, and warlike than his Greek counterpart. For Greeks, he was a major civic god and was highly respected for being the god of the sea and earthquakes. However the Romans, who were not seafaring people, associated him more with fresh water and horses, and treated him with a fearful respect.

As a god of both fresh water and the sea, Romans prayed to Neptune to provide water for their crops. In ancient Italy, farmers would honor Neptune with a festival in July, when frequent droughts would destroy their fields. He was also a patron of horses and had a temple called Circus Flaminius built near a race track, and another in Campus Martius. He was also the patron of horse racing and a temple dedicated to him was situated near the Circus Flaminius which was a Roman racetrack. The Circus Flaminius was the venue for horse racing with one rider and his horse going around the turning posts.

In The Battle of the Labyrinth, Poseidon arrives wearing a hat saying: Neptune's lucky fishing hat.

In The Son of Neptune, he is highly feared at Camp Jupiter as well as by all Roman demigods in general, and his children are considered bad luck and dangerous to have around. Unlike most of the other major gods, he only has a shed as a temple on Temple Hill, with a cobweb covered trident nailed above the door, and three dried up, moldy apples left inside as an offering. Part of the reason Camp Jupiter considers his children bad luck is because of an event in 1906, when his descendant, Shen Lun, was thought to make a big earthquake and was banished from the camp. While Percy Jackson was at Camp Jupiter, he prayed to Neptune in his temple for some help.

In The House of Hades, while Jason Grace and Leo Valdez are trying to capture the dwarfs, Akmon and Passalos, at Bologna they see a statue of Neptune. Jason said that he would feel better if he saw a statue of any god other than Neptune. Later, the statue suddenly shoots some rope from its hand and ties up Jason. Luckily, he manages to escape.

In The Blood of Olympus, Kymopoleia declares that the Romans never worshiped her and that for them she was only a sign of the greatest anger for Neptune.

In Camp Jupiter Classified: A Probatio's Journal, Claudia, a recruit of the Fourth Cohort, thinks of the abilities that his descendants might have and tells herself that an important god like him shouldn't have such a poor temple.

In The Tyrant's Tomb, while in Tyson and Ella's bookshelf, Apollo recalls a rite to appease Neptune's wrath.

Odur[]

Odur (also spelled Óðr) is the god of vehemence, longing, and passion.; Husband of Freya, father of Hnoss and Gersemi, and is believed to be another aspect of Odin.

At one point, Odur married Freya and had two daughters with her, Hnoss and Gersemi. He later vanished, causing his brother-in-law to look for him on Odin's throne.

In The Sword of Summer, Odur is mentioned in a song sung by Dmitri and his band in order to have Freya cry Red Gold so Blitzen can have money to pay for Freya's new earrings.

Orcus[]

Orcus is the Roman god of eternal punishment and broken oaths. Orcus was mentioned by his descendant, Bryce Lawrence, as the punisher of those who have broken their oaths.

Palaemon[]

Palaemon is the Greek god of sharks, harbors and sailors in ancient Greek mythology. His Roman counterpart is Portunus.

A sea divinity in Greek mythology, analogue to the Roman Portumnus, the tutelary god of ports and shores. Under the name Melicertes he had been a child of Ino and Athmas. Ino had nursed the god Dionysus, one of Zeus' many illegitimate children, and jealous Hera had driven Athmas mad, so that he pursued his wife with intent to kill her. Carrying her child, she leaped into the sea, where both of them became minor deities-he thereafter called Palaemon and she Leucothea. He was usually portrayed riding on a dolphin and was invoked as a savior from shipwreck. The Isthman Games were celebrated in his honor.

In The Last Olympian, Poseidon mentions that Delphin is supposed to send Palaemon and his legion of sharks to attack Oceanus' monsters at the western front.

Paris[]

Paris was a prince of Troy, son of King Priam and Queen Hecuba and the younger brother of Hector. He is best known for his elopement with Helen of Troy, queen of Sparta, which served as the catalyst of the Trojan War. Later in the war, he fatally wounds Achilles by shooting him in the heel with an arrow, as foretold by Achilles' mother, Thetis. Just before his birth, his mother dreamed that she gave birth to a flaming torch. This dream was interpreted by the seer Aesacus as a foretelling of the downfall of Troy, and he declared that the child would be the ruin of his homeland. On the day of Paris' birth it was further announced by Aesacus that the child born of a royal Trojan that day would have to be killed to spare the kingdom, being the child that would bring about the prophecy. Though Paris was indeed born before nightfall, he was spared by Priam; Hecuba, too, was unable to kill the child, despite the urging of a priestess of Apollo. Instead, Paris' father prevailed upon his chief shepard, Agelaus, to remove the child and kill him. The herdsman, unable to use a weapon against the infant, left him exposed on the slopes of Mount Ida, hoping he would perish there; he was, however, suckled by a she-bear. Returning after nine days, Agelaus was astonished to find the child still alive, and brought him home in a backpack to rear as his own. He returned to Priam bearing a dog's tongue as evidence of the deed's completion.

Paris is the one who caused the Trojan War to occur with the Trojans fighting against the Greeks. Before the Trojan War began, he was appointed by Zeus to judge the goddesses Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite on was the fairest, thus giving to the winner the golden apple. Each of them promised Paris something, Hera offered him power, Athena offered wisdom, and bravery to be the greatest warrior while Aphrodite offered the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen of Troy. Thus he chose Helen. However, Helen was already married to King Menelaus of Sparta. When Paris eloped, or abducted Helen, Menelaus, in accordance of an oath in which all of Helen's suitors (before she was married) swore before Tyndareus, Helen's father, and King of Sparta, to defend the marriage to the man that Tyndareus will chose for Helen, obligated them to bring her back to Menelaus. Some came voluntarily, like Diomedes while others were forced like Odysseus. These men represented the power, wealth, and military prowess of Achaea. Thus, the whole might of Greece waged war with Troy, which included their generation's greatest heroes like Agammemnon, king of Mycenae (which was the chosen overall commander), Achilles, Diomedes, Odysseus, Philoctetes, and Ajax. In Homer's Iliad, it is said that the Trojan War took ten years of fighting between the Greek armies and the Trojan army. Nine of the ten were spent fighting between the armies but the Greeks didn't have an advantage since Achilles, a son of Thetis, spent his agreement on Agamemnon in his tent. The Tenth, however, had Achilles returning to help the Greek army fight when he heard that Paris' brother, Hector, had killed his best friend, Patroclus, while Patroclus was wearing Achilles' armor. Achilles then killed Hector in a duel around the walls surrounding Troy. After killing Hector, Achilles proceeded to tie Hector's mangled body to his chariot as he drove around the city walls for twelve days, displaying Hector's corpse for all to see. Then, under a short truce, Priam goes to Achilles to ask him to give him the body of Hector's body, so he may hold his funeral. Achilles relents, and gives the dead Hector's body to him, but at the same time he cries. Paris later slays Achilles as the latter is storming the walls of Troy - he shoots an arrow, guided by Apollo, into the hero's heel, killing him. Paris himself is later slain by Philoktetes, using the poisoned-tipped arrows of Hercules.

The Judgement of Paris was the cause for the result of the Trojan War to start between the Greeks and the Trojans. Paris was picked by Zeus, the king of the gods, to decide who was the fairest goddess on Olympus - Aphrodite, Hera, or Athena.

There are many reasons on how Paris judged who was the true fairest goddess. One was that all three goddesses went naked to show him their beauty so he could decide which of them were fairest. The second was that at the same time all three goddesses stood before him they told him that if he decided on one of them they would give him:

  • Athena - the wisdom, and skills in battle to become the greatest warrior.
  • Aphrodite - the most beautiful woman on earth (which turned out to be Helen)
  • Hera - ownership of Europe and Asia.

Paris, however, thought that each of Athena and Hera's gifts to him were not so good because he knew that his father and the city of Troy were at peace and that there was no use of a war. So instead of picking Athena and Hera as the fairest of all, Paris picked Aphrodite because he thought her gift was the best. This made Hera and Athena deeply angered that Paris had not picked them and they angrily disappeared to Olympus, causing the rest of the gods to help each side of the war in the fight against and for Troy, with Hera and Athena choosing to fight against Paris and Troy, and Aphrodite to fight for him.

Percy Jackson briefly mentions Paris and his relationship with Helen when talking to Aphrodite about tragic love stories in a white limousine at the Junkyard of the Gods, to which the love goddess replies to by shaking her head sadly, but having a smile as she is nodding.

Paris (demigod)[]

Official Not part of Riordanverse

The following article/section is from the Percy Jackson Movies continuity and not the Riordanverse canon.

Paris is a female Greek demigod who is mentioned in the The Lightning Thief film adaptation.

Paris is mentioned by Chiron. She was commanded to stop playing with Dylan.

Periclymenus[]

Periclymenus was an Argonaut and a legacy of Poseidon. His father, Neleus was a son of Tyro and Poseidon.

Pericylmenus was gifted the ability to shapeshift into various animals from his grandfather Poseidon. When Hercules waged war against Neleus, king of Pylos, for refusing to purify Hercules for the murder of Iphitus, Hercules killed eleven of the twelve sons of Neleus, one of which was Periclymenus. With the assistance of Athena, Hercules recognized Periclymenus as a bee, settled upon the yoke of his chariot and shot him with an arrow.

Periclymenus' family survived on and inherited his gift of shapeshifting, a unique gift given to only the Argonaut by Poseidon. Over the following millennia, Periclymenus' descendants came to include the Zhang family, some of whom would be associated with Camp Jupiter and New Rome. Others remained on the island of Pylos, hanging out in an ancient stronghold where the ancient king of Pylos had supposedly stored his treasure in times of crisis.

In The Son of Neptune, Frank Zhang and the rest of his family are descendants of Periclymenus. Every member of his direct family are able to transform into animals as Periclymenus passed down this ability. After Frank learns about his lineage, he tells Percy Jackson that they are related, much to Percy's, Hazel's, and later Tyson's, surprise.

In The Blood of Olympus, in an attempt to find the Pylosian Mint, Piper McLean charmspeaks an Ancient Greek ghost into revealing the location of an ancient stronghold where Periclymenus' shapeshifting descendants supposedly hang out. Frank heads up to the cave alone and his cousins give him the poison that he needs. Frank tells Piper that his cousins have been living on Pylos for generations, all descended from Periclymenus the Argonaut and that he'd told them the story of his own branch of Periclymenus's family. However, they had acted cold and distant, stating that long-lost relatives returning to Pylos had happened before and Frank believes that they didn't want him around, not liking that he's also the son of Mars and possibly not liking that he's of Chinese descent. Along with the Pylosian mint, Periclymenus's descendants give Frank a clue on where they can find the next ingredient for the Physician's Cure.

Pietro[]

Pietro was a neighbor of the di Angelo family when they lived in Venice before immigrating to the United States of America.

Pontos[]

Pontos

Pontos (sometimes spelled Pontus) is the Protogenos of the Sea. As such, he is the personification of the sea itself and has been in existence since the dawn of creation. Like many of the other primordial gods, he has been in a deep slumber for eons, as mentioned in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods

As one of the Protogenos, Pontus was born from Gaea alongside other primordial gods. Although he harbored romantic feelings for Gaea, she ultimately chose Ouranos to be her husband instead. He eventually became closely acquainted with his nephew Oceanus, who spent a lot of time in his company and came to affectionally call him "Uncle Pontus." At some point after Oceanus rose up as the Titan of the Sea, Pontus went into a deep slumber.

Pontus has a wife named Thalassa, and the two of them sired almost all sea life, including the telekhines. He also had an affair with Gaea and fathered Nereus, Thaumas, Phorcys, Aigaios, Keto, and Eurybia.

Priests of Amun-Ra[]

The priests of Amun-Ra opposed the pharaoh Akhenaton when he attempted to outlaw worship of the Egyptian gods. They were believed to have assassinated him and were responsible for cursing members of Akhenaton's bloodline to die at a young age. Bes hated the priests because they were, according to him, full of themselves.

They created the Book of Ra and hid its three sections hoping that a worthy magician would one day find it and reawaken Ra. Vladimir Menshikov, former leader of the Eighteenth Nome in Russia, is a descendant of the priests.[27]

Rama[]

The following article/section is from the Pandava Quintet continuity under Rick Riordan Presents and not the Riordanverse canon.

Ramaaaa

Rama

Rama is the seventh incarnation of Vishnu. He fought Ravana, the ten-headed rakshasa, to save his wife, Sita, who was said to be an incarnation of Lakshmi, Vishnu's wife.[28]

Rama was born to Dasharatha and Kaushalya, the rulers of Kosala, on the ninth day of the lunar month Chaitra (March–April). It was a day celebrated across India as Ram Navami. This coincides with one of the four Navaratri on the Hindu calendar, in the spring season, namely the Vasantha Navaratri.

One day, Rama and his one of his brothers, Laxmana, traveled to the neighboring kingdom of Videha where the princess, Sita, held a svayamvara to choose her husband. The competition was that she would only marry the person who could string Pinaka, the bow of Shiva. Her father, Janaka. knew that the bow of Shiva was not even liftable for ordinary mortals. But Rama not only strings the bow, he draws its back and breaks it in two.

Ten years later, Dasharatha is ready to retire, leaving his kingdom to Rama. But Kaikeyi, one of his wives, had two boons from him. She used them to banish Rama and Sita to the forest and crown her own son, Bharata, king. Banished, Rama and Sita, go hunting with Laxmana. They hunt for days until they come upon a Surpanakha, who found Rama irresistible. Rama politely declines the advances, so Surpanakha turned to Laxmana, who promptly cuts off her nose. Infuriated, Surpanakha ran to her brother, Ravana, who hatched a plan to get to Rama by kidnapping Sita. He had his uncle Maricha disguise himself as a beautiful golden deer which Sita saw and wanted. Although Rama drew a magical protective circle around Sita while headed out with his brother to bring back the deer, Ravana disguised himself as a beggar. This caused Sita to leave the circle to help him, only for Ravana to whisk her to his flying chariot to his city of Lanka.

Rama goes to the kingdom of the vanaras to find help. Hanuman is a Vanara who has the ability to fly (being the son of the wind god, Vayu) and locates Sita in Ravana's kingdom. But she thinks Hanuman is actually Ravana in yet another disguise. She demands Rama come rescue her himself. So, Rama and Hanuman assemble an army of monkey-like humanoids, the Vanaras who build a causeway over the ocean to Ravana's lair. Upon their descent, Ravana flees, but Rama manages to kill him piercing his heart with arrows.

Ravana[]

AruShah Not part of Riordanverse

The following article/section is from the Pandava Quintet continuity under Rick Riordan Presents and not the Riordanverse canon.

Ravana

Ravana

Ravana was the main antagonist of Ramayana, one of the major Sanskrit epics of ancient India. Ravana was born to Ravana and Kaikesi; his siblings were Kumbhakarna, Khara and Dushana and Surpanakha (born Meenakshi). He and Kumbhakarna were the second reincarnations of Jaya and Vijaya, Vishnu's gatekeepers. At some point in his life, he overthrew his half-brother, Kubera, as king of Lanka, the city of gold. He killed Vidyutjihva, Surpanakha's greedy husband out of self-defense, causing his sister to search the world. After Surpanakha came back to him, Ravana found out that she was humiliated by Vishnu's current incarnation, Rama, his brother Laxmana and his wife Sita. So he had a rakshasa named Maricha distract Rama and Laxmana while being disguised as a golden deer while he kidnapped Sita, who was staying in a fancy ashram, himself while disguised as a hermit and took her to Lanka. An old vulture named Jatayu tried to rescue her, but Ravana cut his wing off which killed him.

Soon after Ravana arrived home, Hanuman arrived and tried to save her, but Sita refused help unless it was from Rama. This made Hanuman mad and have a tantrum and, unfortunately, the noise attracted Ravana who took the monkey demigod prisoner. Ravana tried to kill him by setting his tail on fire, but Hanuman managed to make his tail grow and escape, setting fire to the city of Lanka. Later, Rama with the help of the monkey king Sugreeva, attacked Lanka and killed Ravana.

Ravana is depicted as having ten heads. Although not mentioned by name until the glossary, Ravana was mentioned by Aru Shah when she remembered that Valmiki wrote Ramayana. Ravana is often said to be an example of a dark lord or evil overlord. He is a powerful king of Lanka. He is very powerful with god-like powers. He has many henchman.

Remus[]

Remus was a Roman demigod son of Mars and legacy of Venus. He was killed by his twin brother Romulus, the founder of Rome.

Remus and his twin brother Romulus were born to Rhea Silvia, a former princess of Alba Longa who became a vestal virgin after her father Numitor was dethroned and killed by his brother Amulius, and Mars, the war god. When Amulius found out about their birth, he had his great-nephews sent to the Tiber to drown. However they were saved by Tiberinus and given to Lupa, the wolf goddess, to raise and be trained.

Rich Jackson[]

Rich Jackson is the uncle and adoptive father of Sally Jackson.

He took in his niece after his brother, Jim, and sister-in-law, Estelle, died. During Sally's last year of high school, Rich was diagnosed with cancer, he asked Sally to drop out to tend to him due to his health insurance running out. He died, leaving Sally to have to work small jobs because she dropped out of high school to take care of him.

In The Lightning Thief, Percy mentions Rich when he arrived home from being expelled from Yancy Academy earlier in the school year,

Rich was a caring man who greatly cared for Sally.

Romulus[]

Romulus was the legendary founder and first king of Rome. He was a demigod, son of Mars and Rhea Silvia.

Romulus and his twin brother Remus were demigods, the sons of Mars, god of war, and Rhea Silvia. Their grandfather, Numitor, was the king of Alba Longa, which was founded centuries ago by Numitor's ancestor, Ascanius, son of Aeneas. Amulius, Numitor's younger brother, seized the throne from Numitor and had his son, Lausus, killed; he then forced Numitor's daughter, Rhea Silvia to become a Vestal Virgin, a priestess dedicated to the goddess Vesta. Since Vestals were sworn to celibacy for a period of thirty years, this would ensure the line of Numitor had no heirs. However, Rhea was soon visited, as she claimed, by the god Mars and conceived, giving birth to twin sons, Romulus and Remus. Upon discovering this, Amulius had Rhea thrown into prison and ordered her sons thrown into the River Tiber. However, since upon that day (perhaps by divine intervention, states Livy), the Tiber's waters had swollen up upon the shore, leaving large areas of land covered in still pools, the men could not reach the current. Thus, they merely left the infants in a basket with the hope that the receding waters would drown them. The twins washed up onto dry land where they were found by a she-wolf, who took them back to her cave, the Lupercale, and suckled them. Sometime later, they were discovered by a shepherd named Faustulus, who took them back to his home to be raised (although he suspected they were indeed the royal offspring). During this time, the two learned of their past and, upon reaching adulthood, decided to restore their grandfather to the throne. The twins then set out to Alba Longa, where with the aid of their friends they killed Amulius and Numitor was reinstated as king. Afterwards, the twins set out to build a city of their own.

An argument broke out over where exactly to build the city; Remus wanted to build the city on the Aventine Hill and name it Reme, and Romulus on the Palatine Hill. They decided to wait on their hills for an omen from the gods; while Remus saw six vultures, Romulus saw twelve (albeit later) and decided to build his city at the designated spot. Enraged, Romulus killed his brother and a new city was founded, traditionally dated to be April 21, 753 BC. The city would be named Rome after him. 

In an attempt to populate his newfound settlement, Romulus offered asylum to criminals, as well as other social outcasts, such as slaves who sought protection and those in debt. Though this served to increase the number of Rome's citizens, it created a problem, as most of the people were men. Romulus came up with a plan - he announced that a festival was to be held in honor of the god Neptune and invited all of the neighboring tribes to attend. Only a few tribes accepted the invitation, the Sabines being chief among them. In the midst of the festivities, the Sabine men became drunk (their wine had purposely been left undiluted) as Romulus and his men stole all of the Sabine women who were unmarried, taking them for their wives.

The following day, after they had become sober, the Sabines discovered Romulus' treachery and, enraged, declared war against him and his people. The Sabines and the Romans were about to come blows when the Sabine women intervened, as they did not wish to see their fathers and brothers or their husbands die. The two sides then decided to seek reconciliation and end the fighting. The Romans and Sabines then joined together as one with Romulus ruling jointly alongside Titus Tatius, the king of the Sabines, until the latter was killed five years later. 

As king of Rome, Romulus possessed absolute power, referred to as imperium; he served as commander-in-chief of the city's military, and was the final judge in civil and criminal cases, being unable to be prosecuted or be brought to trial for his actions. He could also pass laws and call the people to assembly, called the Curiate Assembly, as well as preside over meetings. The Roman Senate, which was founded by Romulus, was a council that served to advise him in certain matters, comprised of men chosen from among Rome's leading families.

The office of king had some limitations, the first being that it was not a hereditary position, as it was the responsibility of the Senate and Curiate to appoint and elect a new king, and secondly, the king could not declare war against a foreign nation, for which he needed the approval of either body. Romulus died in 716 BC, having reigned for thirty seven years, and he was buried underneath the Curia Julia, the Senate's meeting place. In 715 BC, after a year-long interregnum, he was succeeded by Numa Pompilius, who was chosen by the Sabines as they had not had a king of their own since the death of Titus Tatius.

Upon his death, Romulus was deified and his cult became assimilated with that of Quirinus, a deity of Sabine origin. Later, a statue of him would be erected in the Pantheon, a temple dedicated to all the Roman gods and goddesses.

Sammy Valdez, Jr.[]

Sammy Valdez, Jr. is the son of Sammy Valdez, the father of Esperanza Valdez and Rosa Valdez, and the grandfather of Leo Valdez and Raphael.

Sammy Valdez Jr. was born to Sammy Valdez Sr. and an unknown mother. When he grew up, he married and had at least two children, daughters Esperanza and Rosa, who each gave him a grandson, Leo Valdez and Raphael respectively.

In The Mark of Athena, during one of Hazel Levesque’s flashbacks, the son of Hephaestus mentions him when seeing a vision of himself with his great-grandfather as an infant.

Saturn[]

Saturn (also known as Saturnus) is the Roman counterpart of Kronos. Saturn's wife was Ops and was the father of Vesta, Ceres, Jupiter, Pluto, Neptune, and Juno, among others. Saturn was also the Roman god of fertility. In the Roman tradition, in memory of the Golden Age of man, a mythical age when Saturn was said to have ruled, a great feast called Saturnalia was held during the winter months around the time of the Winter Solstice. It was originally only one day long, taking place on December 17, but later lasted one week.

Saturn was the son of Caelus and Terra, and married his sister Ops. She, with her other sisters, persuaded their mother to join them in a plot, to exclude Helios, their elder brother, from his birthright, and raise Saturn to his father's throne. (Incorrect information. Saturn and Ops aren't siblings to Helios/Sol in Roman Mythology. Their eldest brother is Janus. Also Janus, Saturn and Ops are the only children of Caelus and Terra.) Their design so far succeeded, that Titan was obliged to resign his claim, though on condition, that Saturn brought up no male children, and thus the succession might revert to the Titans again. Saturn, it is said, observed this covenant so faithfully, that he devoured, as soon as they were born, his legitimate sons. His punctuality, however, in this respect, was at last frustrated by the artifice of Ops, who, being delivered Jupiter, presented the latter to her husband, and concealing the former, sent him to be nursed on Mount Ida in Crete, committing the care of him to the Curētes and Corybantes. After he was overthrown by his son, and his throne toppled, he fled fugitive to Italy, and the town of Latium (whence is derived the word "Latin"). He instructed the people there how crops were sown and how agriculture was done. Eventually he became ruler of Latium. The reign of Saturn was so mild and happy that some poets have given it the name of the Golden Age. The people, who before wandered about like beasts, were then uplifted to civil society; laws were enacted, and the art of tilling and sowing the ground introduced; whence Varro tells us, that Saturn had his name a satu, from sowing.

In The Son of Neptune, Saturn's comeback attempt is mentioned by Nico di Angelo. The very first day Percy Jackson—having had his memory previously taken by Juno—arrives at Camp Jupiter, Nico almost calls Saturn by his Greek name while telling Percy the story of the Battle of Mount Othrys, and how Saturn probably just faded back into abyss. Nico is shown to be very cautious when telling the story, as if fearing the return of Percy's memory.

Saturn was usually represented as an old man, bare-headed and bald, with all the marks of infirmity in his eyes, countenance, and figure. In his right hand they sometimes placed a sickle or scythe; at others, a key, and a circumflex-ed serpent biting its tail, in his left. He sometimes was pictured with six wings, and feet of wool, to show how insensibly and swiftly time passes. The scythe denoted his cutting down and subverting all things, and the serpent the revolution of the year.

Sethlans[]

Sethlans is the Etruscan god of artisans. He faded away like most of the other Etruscan gods. In Un Natale Mezzosangue, Sethlans is mentioned to have left a gold bracelet made of tiny keys in the care of Charu.

Shen Lun[]

Shen Lun was the great-grandfather of Roman demigod Frank Zhang. He was also a legacy of Poseidon.

Shen Lun went to Camp Jupiter in the early 1900s because his family had roots connecting them to the Roman Empire. Despite being a legacy of Poseidon and a descendent of Periclymenus (a grandchild of Poseidon), the Legion accepted him into the camp because of his powerful ability. Just like Periclymenus, Shen Lun had the ability to shapeshift into different animals, a gift passed down through his family. Although he was a legacy of Poseidon, because of his Roman blood everyone believed he was a legacy of Neptune.

After Shen was allowed into Camp Jupiter, he was disliked and looked down upon due to being Asian, his relation to Poseidon (Neptune), and his unusual ability, even though he had Roman ancestry in his lineage.

After the earthquake of 1906 in San Francisco, Shen Lun was accused of causing it, being that he was a legacy of the god of earthquakes, Poseidon. Despite Shen not having that kind of ability and with no evidence that he had caused it, he was banished from Camp Jupiter and New Rome. Years later, his name was still resented by members of the Legion. It's suggested that he was blamed out of racism due to his Chinese heritage.

After his banishment, Shen Lun relocated to Vancouver in southwestern Canada and had at least one child, a daughter.

In The Son of Neptune, before Frank leaves for Camp Jupiter, Grandma Zhang hands him a note with an apology for what Shen Lun had done, and tells Frank to give it to the Praetor of the camp. Reyna is the one who Frank apologizes to, but she orders him to not mention this to anyone. Reyna later tells Percy Jackson that if anyone found out about Frank's family history at the camp, it could cause him trouble. Percy is confused, but Reyna brushes off his questions.

When Frank, Hazel and Percy visit Grandma Zhang during their quest, they learn of Shen Lun's innocence and that Grandma Zhang had wanted to Frank to apologize on his behalf as more of a preventive measure. Grandma Zhang suggests that Shen Lun was framed for the earthquake out of racism and tells her grandson that that power isn't even their family's gift anyways.

After Frank's role in saving New Rome from Polybotes' army and returning the eagle standard of the Legion, there is talk about restoring Shen Lun to the Legion's roll of honor as people finally acknowledge his innocence in causing the 1906 earthquake.

Shiva[]

AruShah Not part of Riordanverse

The following article/section is from the Pandava Quintet continuity under Rick Riordan Presents and not the Riordanverse canon.

Lord-shiva-drinking-poison

Shiva drinking poison from the River of Milk

Shiva is the Hindu god of Destruction, responsible for destroying the world to clear out all evil. His wife is Parvati, the Mother Goddess.

Long ago, Brahma and Vishnu were discussing who should be the supreme deity. Suddenly, a pillar of fire appeared in front of the two, it seemed to be buried and was so tall that it touched the clouds. Brahma turned into a goose and tried to fly to the top while Vishnu turned into a boar and dug to reach the bottom. However, neither god could find the end they were looking for. Just then, an opening appeared in the pillar and Shiva emerged. Brahma and Vishnu immediately recognized his power and agreed that the three of them should rule the universe together.[29]

When a powerful sage named Durvasa, who was born out of Shiva's anger, cursed the gods causing them to lose their immortality. Vishnu advised them to churn the ocean to get the amrita, the nectar of immortality, the Ocean of Milk (Kshir Sagar). When they started churning, a poison called halahala burst into the air. So the gods asked Shiva to get rid of it, he drank it down and the poison turned his throat blue.[30] Thereafter, he came to be known as Neelkantha literally meaning 'the one with a blue throat'.

Shiva had many followers and devotees, including the demon king, Ravana. Shiva reluctantly gave Brahmasura the power to turn into ashes anyone whose head he touches after he performed tough austerities for many years. He granted kingship of the yakshas to his friend, Kubera. He chopped off the head of his son, Ganesh, not knowing they were related, then restored Ganesh's life. 

One day, when a terrible asura named Taraka ravaged the land. Due to a boon he had, the gods needed a son of Shiva to defeat him. But Shiva was in deep meditation and couldn't see his reborn wife, Parvati. When he was awoken by Kamadeva, his third eye opened and incinerated the god of love, yet he was reunited with his reborn wife, Parvati. Together they had a son they named Kartikeya who went on to defeat Taraka and become the god of war.[31]

In Aru Shah and the End of Time, Krithika P. Shah told her daughter, Aru, that if the Sleeper was ever here released from the Diya, he would release Shiva who would perform the Cosmic Dance and destroy the world.

According to Boo, the Lord of Destruction is currently surrounded by a celestial sphere that can only be shattered by an immortal device, like the celestial weapons of the Pandavas.

A statue of Shiva is located on the island where the Ocean of Milk was churned. After drinking a silver liquid from a nearby cauldron, Aru and Mini received the sip of old age, the last key needed to enter the Kingdom of Death.

In Aru Shah and the Song of Death, while visiting Kamadeva, the reincarnated Pandavas were shown when Shiva incinerated him.

Skírnir[]

Skírnir is a Norse god and a messenger serving Frey. A thousand years ago his demigod son, Leif Erikson, was the captain of Viking explorers landed in North America before Christopher Columbus.

Skírnir was given the sword Sumarbrander by his master so that the lord of Alfheim may see the giantess Gerd. Skírnir went to Jotunheim by horse to meet Gerd. At some point, the messenger eventually will be attacked by giant wolfs, but the magical Sumarbrander will protect him alone. Skírnir met Gerd in her castle and persuaded her to accepts Frey's marriage proposal. Sometime later, Skírnir pass the sword on to his demigod son Leif Erikson, who would lose it after landing in what would eventually become the city of Boston in Eastern Massachusetts.

In The Sword of Summer, Skírnir's story with the Sword of Summer and who it came with to the new world is told to Magnus Chase by his uncle when taking him to find the sword at Longfellow Bridge.

Steve[]

Steve is a demigod son of Demeter. In The Tower of Nero, Meg mentions him saying he made a potato explode in Douglas's pants.

Sung Guo[]

Sung Guo (also called Seneca Gracchus) is a Roman ancestor of demigod Frank Zhang. Like all descendants of Periclymenus, he had the ability to shapeshift into animals.

In antiquity, the Argonaut Periclymenus, received from his grandfather, Poseidon, the gift to change into any animal at will. Centuries later, Seneca Gracchus, one of Pericylmenus' shapeshifter descendants who served in a legion of the Roman Empire, participated to the Battle of Carrhae against the Parthians on the eastern border of the Empire. This battle was a huge disaster for the Romans and Gracchus was captured with 10,000 legionnaires, and put to work in Asia, by the Parthians, until the attack of Chinese people, who took the prisoners to their lands. The Romans eventually put down roots, mixed with the local population, and built a new hometown, Li-Jien (Legion), in which the descendants of Seneca Gracchus, known in China as Sung Guo, and their gift prospered for millennia.

Sung Guo was also known for having fought twelve Roman dragons and sixteen Chinese dragons in the western deserts of China.

In the nineteenth century, the Chinese descendants of Graccus and Periclymenus immigrated to Canada, and in the early twentieth century, a member of the family, Shen Lun, was invited to join Camp Jupiter as a legacy of Neptune. But because of his Asian heritage, his kinship with Neptune and his unusual gift, he was blamed without evidence for the earthquake of San Francisco in 1906. His granddaughter, Emily Zhang, later gave birth to the demigod, Frank Zhang, who combines the metamorphosis gift of his family and the war powers conveyed by his father, the Roman god of war, Mars.

In The Son of Neptune, he is mentioned by Emily Zhang in the rainbow image Iris had made. Emily said he had been able to beat the dragons because he had been the strongest dragon of them all. This confuses Frank during his childhood as he could not understand how his ancestor could be a dragon. This serves as a clue to what his family's gift is, and Frank understands Sung Guo was able transform into a dragon. He is also the reason the Lastrygonians wanted to kill Frank, as they have been persuaded that by killing the last Zhang they will inherit his ancestor's powers.

Sybaris[]

Sybaris was a dragon in Greek mythology.

In Greek mythology, Sybaris was a dragon that terrorized the Greek city of Delphi. When the Oracle was asked how to stop it, it said to sacrifice a young man. The young and handsome Alkyoneus, son of Diomos and Meganeira, was selected to be the victim, but the hero Eurybarus, son of Euphemos and a descendant of the river god Axios, was overcome with love for Alkyoneus and became determined to save him. He took his place as the victim and hurled the dragon from the mountainside, striking it against the rocks where a fountain sprung up. The fountain was named Sybaris and the city was also named the same.

In The Titan's Curse, the Titan Atlas makes skeletons with Sybaris' teeth, by growing them in a plant pot. The mortals thought the teeth were from a T-Rex and put them in the T-Rex's exhibit. When planted and watered (most likely with blood), unstoppable skeletons emerge from the ground, ready to kill. At first the mortals bring Atlas the wrong teeth and instead of Skeleton Warriors rising from the ground, there are skeletal kittens. One of those kittens appears in The House of Hades and The Sun and the Star: A Nico di Angelo Adventure under the name of Small Bob.

Tefnut[]

Tefnut is the Egyptian goddess of moisture, dew, water, and rain. Her symbol is a lioness. She is the daughter of Ra and the sister, wife, and counterpart of ShuNut and Geb are her children. Tefnut was depicted in the form of a woman who wears the solar disk circled by two cobras on her head. She holds in her hands the scepter and ankh. Many times she has the head of a lioness or is shown as one.

The lioness-goddess Tefnut helped to support the sky, and each morning, she received the sun on the eastern horizon. She was one of the "great nine" who sat in the judgment of the dead. She was considered as the goddess of the second hour of the night of the fourteenth moon.

According to one myth, Tefnut once got angry at Ra and ran away with all of her water and moisture, and the land dried. Ra sent Thoth along with Shu to look for the goddess at Nubia (where she fled) and persuade her to return to Egypt. When she returned, she brought her water and moisture she took with her, and Egypt went back to normal. Egyptians then started associating her with heat and the Sun. She soon became linked with the Sun, and she became a solar deity.

One myth says that Tefnut and Shu went to explore the waters of Nun. Time passed, and Ra started to think that they were missing. Ra sent his Eye to look for them. When they returned, Ra wept, and his tears created the first humans.

Theodosius I[]

The last emperor to rule over the united Roman Empire until he divided it into the Eastern and Western Empire in 395 A.D.. He was known for closing all the ancient and pagan temples across the empire and officially prohibited pagan worship when he made Christianity the official religion. Theodosius also cut down the last oak of the original Grove of Dodona. Apollo described him as a bully who evicted the Olympian gods, he used to have an archery target with his face on it.

Thomas Faynor[]

Thomas Faynor was a Greek demigod son of Hephaestus. He was the owner of the bakery in London where the Great Fire of London began in the year 1666. He is mentioned to be the last child of Hephaestus to have power over fire before Leo Valdez.[32]

Thomas Jefferson[]

Thomas Jefferson was the third president of the United States and the principal author of the Declaration of Independence. Annabeth Chase stated that he is a member of the Judgment Pavilion in the Underworld.[33]

Thomas Young[]

Thomas Young was an Englishman who proved that the Rosetta Stone's three languages all conveyed the same message.[34]

Tonatiuh[]

Tonatiuh is the Aztec god of the sun.

Born under the name of Nanahuatzin, Tonatiuh was actually the fifth sun. During the first four worlds, one god was supposed to represent the sun. They were Tezcatlipoca, Quetzalcoatl, Tlaloc, and Chalchiuhtlicue respectively in that order. But all four worlds were destroyed by something else: jaguars, a hurricane, rain of fire, and a flood.[35]

When the fourth world ended, the gods had a meeting at Teotihuacan. They built a bonfire and declared that whoever volunteered to be sacrificed in it would become the new sun. There were two gods that were chosen: poor and humble Nanahuatzin and a proud god named Tēcciztēcatl who was more wealthy and strong. Tēcciztēcatl wanted to gain immortality, but when the time came he hesitated jumping into the bonfire. Nanahuatzin showed more courage and jumped in, Tēcciztēcatl followed after him. Two suns appeared in the sky, but the gods, disgusted by Tēcciztēcatl's cowardice, threw a rabbit it. Tēcciztēcatl dimmed and became the moon, that's why a rabbit is sometimes seen on the moon.[36] Nanahuatzin became the sun and was renamed Tonatiuh, he always demanded sacrificed human blood in order to move across the sky.[37]

In The Hidden Oracle, Tonatiuh was mentioned by Apollo that although he can no longer pull the sun chariot, the other forces such as Tonatiuh will continue the daily journey of the sun in his place.

The name Tonatiuh means "he who goes forth shining"[38] while Nanahuatzin means "full of sores." Tonatiuh and his predecessor sun gods are represented on the Aztec sun stone, an Aztec sculpture discovered in Mexico City in 1790.[39]

Tutankhamen[]

Tutankhamen, famously known as King Tut, was the son of Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaton. He died at the age of nineteen due to a curse placed on his father's bloodline by priests of Amun-Ra. Because the nature of the curse was not known to them, modern doctors have ascribed various reasons to Tutankhamen's death, including poison and genetic disease.[40]

Tyche[]

Tyche is the Greek goddess of luck, chance, destiny, and fortune. Her Roman counterpart is Fortuna.

Tyche was born from two OlympiansHermes and Aphrodite.

In ancient times, Tyche was worshiped as a goddess who presided over several cities.

In The Last Olympian, Tyche is one of the minor gods given a cabin at Camp Half-Blood after the Second Titan War.

In The Mark of Athena, Nemesis complains that Tyche is too generous in giving good fortune. Tyche is listed in the glossary section as the daughter of Hermes and Aphrodite.

In The Hidden Oracle, Tyche is mentioned by Chiara Benvenuti in the Amphitheater during music lesson.

Ullr[]

Ullr (often spelled Uller, Ull, or Ullinn) is the Norse Æsir god of hunting, archery and skiing. He is the son of the goddess Sif and the stepson of Thor.

In The Sword of Summer, while on their way to a destressed Thor in Jotunheim, Otis mentioned Ullr as the god of snowshoes, as they would be helpful in trudging throughout Jötunheimr's frozen landscape.

In The Hammer of Thor, while in her house, Sif mentioned how Thor is sometimes irritated by Ullr, as he is his stepson rather than his biological son.

In Hotel Valhalla Guide to the Norse Worlds, Uller is mentioned in a letter from James Lovasock, an attorney. James mentioned Uller had sent a letter claiming that he invented winter sports equipment and that it was being sold without his permission (Uller is right of course).

Vali[]

Vali is a jotunn son of Loki, who was killed as part of Loki's punishment.

As part of Loki's punishment for killing Balder, the gods Vali into a wolf, and watched as he disemboweled his brother. The gods then shot and gutted him, and used their entrails to bind Loki.

In The Sword of Summer, Loki appears in Magnus' dream and tells him about Vali and Narvi after Magnus Chase, Hearthstone and Samirah al-Abbas flee from the dwarves in Nidavellir.

Venus[]

Venus

Venus

Venus is the Roman goddess of love, beauty, vegetation, fertility and prosperity, equivalent to the Greek goddess Aphrodite.

Venus, in the ancient Italic religion, was a matronly goddess largely associated with marital love and agricultural fertility, most especially the cultivation of fields and gardens, and while there was no worship of Venus in the early days of Rome, she was especially worshiped by the Latins, having a temple at Lavinium and another one at Ardea. She came to be equated with the Greek goddess Aphrodite, although it is unknown why or when exactly such identification occurred. Venus was, like her Greek equivalent, famed for her many affairs with both gods and mortals, the goddess was thought to protect the chastity of women and girls. She was especially important to the foundational myth of Rome, for she was regarded as the mother of Aeneas, who was himself ancestor to Romulus, Rome's mythical founder-king. As mother to Aeneas, Venus was regarded as the mother to the Roman people. Indeed the famed Gaius Julius Caesar was a member of the gens Julii, claiming descent from Venus through Aeneas' son Iulus, the patroness of motherhood and domesticity.

In The Lightning Thief, Chiron mentions Venus to Percy Jackson when explaining the path the gods took when following Western Civilization and how they "temporarily" went under different names when patrons of the Roman Empire.

In The Blood of Olympus, Venus is mentioned to be the divine mother of Michael Kahale.

In The Tyrant's Tomb, Venus is mentioned whenever Apollo thinks of her warning for him to stay away from Reyna Ramírez-Arellano.

Vishnu[]

Vishnu is the Hindu god of protection. He is notable for adopting various incarnations (avatars such as Krishna) to protect dharmic principles when the world is threatened by chaotic forces. Vishnu's name is derived from a Sanskrit word which means "all-pervader".

Vishnu has been known to intervene in human affairs by appearing on Earth in various incarnations known as avatars. Usually the avatars appear at times of crisis; this could be during a natural disaster or other event that results in the structure of society losing its natural balance. There are ten avatars of especial importance; these are known as Dashavatara.

Vulcan[]

Vulcan RR

Vulcan on ReadRiordan

Vulcan is Hephaestus' Roman form. As Vulcan, he becomes more disciplined, militaristic, and warlike. While the Greeks envisioned Hephaestus as a benevolent and clever being, the Romans believed Vulcan to be the god of volcanoes which gave him a greater respect and fear among their people.

Compared to his Greek counterpart, Vulcan had a stronger association with fire's destructive capabilities. As such, he was worshiped primarily to obtain his protection in averting fires, so there were numerous shrines dedicated to him where fires were most feared, such as areas near volcanoes and where grain was stored, especially at the port of Ostia. An interesting note is that his shrines stood outside of the walls of cities.

Vulcan roman

Vulcan statue in Birmingham, Alabama

Being determined to shun the company of the other gods Vulcan established his home in the heart of Mount Etna, where he fashioned a giant forge. His workers were the one-eyed Cyclopes. He created a golden throne for Juno, and fashioned magical thunderbolts for Jupiter and Cupid's arrows.

Vulcan is said to have fathered Servius Tullius, the sixth and penultimate king of Rome and Tarquin's predecessor, who proved his parentage by the useful talent of being able to cause fire to descend on his enemies. He was the patron of artisans and blacksmiths. In these late times he was depicted as a smith in a tunic that freed his right arm and shoulder, and with an anvil, tongs and hammer.

The prominent Roman Plebeian gens, the Caecilia claimed descent from Vulcan through one of his sons Caeculus, who founded the city of Praeneste in the region of Latium.

In The Lost Hero, when Leo is claimed by Hephaestus, Vulcan's Greek aspect, Jason says that the symbol hovering over Leo's head was that of Vulcan. This cause the campers of Camp Half-Blood to look at him and upsets Leo who says that he does not even like Star Trek. Annabeth then corrects Leo, saying that Vulcan is the god's Roman name, whereas Leo's father is Hephaestus. Later, Leo asks Will Solace what was up with the name Vulcan, to which the latter replies by saying that the campers use the Greek names as those are the original ones.

In The Throne of Fire, Mad Claude tells Sadie Kane and Walt Stone that the Romans had compared the Egyptian god Ptah to Vulcan since they were both the god of craftsman.

In The Burning Maze, while having a dream where Naevius Sutorius Macro tells Caligula that he killed Tiberius, Apollo reveals that Vulcan was the one who caused Mount Vesuvius to erupt, he was having a bad week.

Vulcan is normally depicted as a grotesque figure with one leg shorter than the other, a deformity that resulted from being thrown from heaven by Juno, or Jupiter in some accounts.

Walt Stone's father[]

Walt Stone's father was a descendant of the pharaoh Akhenaton and fell victim to the curse on his bloodline. He died at the age of eighteen.[41]

William Shakespeare[]

William Shakespeare was an English poet, playwright, and actor. He was also the demigod son of Apollo, Annabeth mentions that he was one of the rotating judges for the Judgment Pavilion in the Underworld.[42] Even though Shakespeare was a Greek demigod, he has received a gift of poetry from Norse god Odin.[43]

William Sherman[]

William Sherman was a Greek demigod and a son of Ares. He was a Union general during the American Civil War. Gleeson Hedge mentions him to Frank Zhang when he mistakes the latter for a son of Ares.[44]

Xu Fu[]

Xu Fu is the son of Sung Guo, the ancestor of Shen Lun, Emily Zhang, Frank Zhang, and a descendant of the argonaut, Periclymenus.

Xu Fu once sailed in search for the famous elixir of life.

In The Son of Neptune, Emily Zhang mentioned him during the rainbow image Iris made, while Hazel, Frank, and Percy were there.
